Washington DC crab cookout and 4th of July Sheryl Crow Fireworks

We had a get together of postbac people in Bethesda just outside of Washington DC last weekend and we had crab and a bunch of other food which we ate while we were being eaten alive by mosquitos the size of copper pennies!

The people in the photos below are incoming med school 1st years from all over the country. We had 1 from Western med in CA, another from Touro Nevada, 1 from Howard in DC and myself from Drexel. Also one 2nd year from Drexel. It was really fun to get together, kind of the calm before the storm. I don't know how successful I'll be in the coming years but I know these people will accomplish everything they've set out to do and that's exciting. Anyway, click picture above to see album.


On July 4th, there was a Sheryl Crow concert near the Art Museum (think Rocky statue) and fireworks afterwards. It was super crowded, wall to wall people. I wish they'd had it directly in front of the Art Museum which is a more open area. I couldn't get really close to the stage but it was fun nonetheless. Click picture above for album.

Anyway, I just spent the day today getting immunized and physicalized...in total sans insurance: $450. I'll be going to Aus on Sunday, look for more pics then.
